How to paste a text to multiple closed curve centerpoints?

jmc.060691 · April 23, 2021, 4:39pm

I’m trying to add a text, copy it into several curves exactly at each closed curve’s centerpoint.
I’m handling more than 1000 unique closed curves, so I cannot copy one by one.
How can this be solved?

Hello - here is a quick and dirty python that should help -

CopyToAreaCentroids.py (816 Bytes)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

-Pascal

Also possible with Grasshopper:

(reference your curves with the Curve parameter, change the text in the panel to what you want, adjust the text height and bake the text tag component)
